Kiser Construction

Kiser Construction is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Eureka, California, that has been registered to receive federal awards since January 2010. The company specializes in providing heavy equipment, water handling services, and construction support critical to wildfire suppression, incident response, and ecosystem restoration efforts across the western United States. Operating as a partnership or limited liability partnership, Kiser Construction qualifies as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and veteran-owned enterprise, positioning it as a strategic partner for federal agencies managing public lands and emergency response operations.

Through its federal contract awards, Kiser Construction has provided specialized heavy equipment including excavators, water tenders, dozers, and related construction services to support the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region (Region 5). The company has received numerous firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from $4,540 to $7.1 million, with task orders issued between 2021 and 2025 supporting wildfire suppression, habitat restoration, facility construction, and all-hazard incident response across California's national forests. These delivery orders have been awarded without set-aside designations, reflecting Kiser Construction's competitive positioning among contractors in the region. Additionally, the company received a $471,011 purchase order from the Forest Service in 2021 for excavator repair services supporting incident management and fire and aviation activities. All identified federal contract awards have been issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, with Kiser Construction serving as the prime contractor on all engagements.

Kiser Construction holds multiple indefinite delivery contracts with the USDA Forest Service and National Interagency Fire Center that establish the framework for rapid deployment of its equipment and services across multiple regions. The company maintains five active IDVs with ceiling values of $250,000 each, awarded between June 2021 and June 2025 under total small business set-asides for water handling services, miscellaneous heavy equipment (including feller bunchers, mulchers, masticators, and road graders), and heavy equipment (dozers and excavators) supporting Regions 3, 5, 6, and 10 of the Forest Service. Most significantly, Kiser Construction holds a $50 million blanket purchase agreement with the USDA Forest Service Pacific Southwest Region, awarded in October 2022 with performance extending through October 2032, dedicated to wildfire mitigation and habitat restoration services across five California national forests (Mendocino, Shasta-Trinity, and Six Rivers). This flagship agreement has generated task orders valued up to $7.1 million and represents the company's largest and most strategically important federal contract vehicle for supporting the Forest Service's long-term stewardship and community protection objectives.
